In this day and age we are less and less likely to use themany phone books that wind up on our door step, except as a door stop. We livein the information age where we have the internet at our fingertips at allhours of the day.

With our phones having the internet we can simply access websites like Yellowbook.com and find any and every number possible or we couldsimply dial 411 for information. All you need is someones name to find theirphone number over the phone. Those same phones have their own phone directoryleaving the dialing to just the push of a few buttons.


It is a far cry from not so many years ago when the phone book was the only wayto find a phone number either to a person or a business. The alphabeticalorganization of the names made it slightly easier to use, but there have beenmany people who have pulled away from that book with ink all over their fingersand they still didnt find what they needed simply because their friend wasunlisted.
Now a days you dont even need to call a friend or business to get a hold ofthem, you e mail them. With goods and services online you can find what you arelooking for easier than ever. No more hours of shuffling pages and calling justto be told that a business does not have what you need. Instant messaging hasalso eliminated the need to even call a friend let alone know their phonenumber.

Just as the crops start to shrivel and die without water,human relationships also start to feel brittle without a steadyapplication of the nourishing, even life-giving, impacts ofappreciation. The dictionary defines appreciation as "a favorablecritical estimate," "sensitive awareness" and "an expression ofadmiration, approval or gratitude." When you appreciate someone, youare tuned into a positive quality of another human being and expressyour gratitude for it. ...

Attic Fans

Attic and roof ventilation allows excess heat and moisture to escape at home to reduce summer cooling costs, pre-mature deterioration of roofing materials and condensation can lead to costly repairs. Effective attic ventilation relies on natural convection to pull air from the top to the bottom position, often in the open in Sofia, and the exhaust hot air from the ceiling vent in a higher position, such as through a gable, or open. Many new and existing homes are not ceilings, and its architecture can not afford soffits perforations for ventilation. While most households are conscious on the convenience brought by nicely ventilated homes, many tend to overlook the attic as one of the areas to be considered.
